This study explored the purpose of collaborative writing between humans and AI using ChatGPT 3.5. The study aimed to answer two primary research questions: (1) “How effective was AI as a co-writer in a creative collaborative writing endeavor?” and (2) “How did humans perceive AI ability as a co-writer in a creative collaborative writing endeavor?” This study employed a case study and exploratory research design to investigate the effectiveness of AI technology in the collaborative writing process and to understand humans’ perceptions of AI writing. The study utilized a combination of short-story evaluation from ten short stories and semi-structured interviews with three participants. The short stories were evaluated by two experienced evaluators to assess the quality of the writing, while the semi-structured interviews provided insights into the participants’ perceptions of AI writing. The study also included a literature review of previous studies related to collaborative writing, human-AI collaborative writing, and perceptions of AI writing to establish a foundation of knowledge in the field. The findings and discussion addressed the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI technology into collaborative writing processes, including sampling bias, the implementation of data collection methods, and rapid advancements in technology. Findings suggested that while AI technology serves as an effective co-writer, human perception of its contributions varies. The report concluded with recommendations for future research and the contributions of the study to both individuals and this field of study. Overall, this study provided valuable insights into the potential of collaborative writing between humans and AI and its implications for the future of writing and technology.
